Complying . .with your request that s I "'.'write something about lo-; san'berries tor your Slogan edi tion, would Bay: There is no doubt that logan berries are the surest fruit crop we can , grow , in the Willamette valley. In fact, so sure and so prolific are they that the great danger 'in. .growing them is over production. " 1 Of this we had ratber a severe lesson a few years ago. " Owing to the , mildness of last winter, the loganberry crop - this year was unusually heavy as a rule. ' Two "Liberties' report yields of over 'five tons per acre over four and tire acre yards, while four tons per acre was not uncom mon in this locality. For' the last. two years the de mand for these berries , has been fairly gooa. owjng prpbably to the fact that' at least two-thirds of the loganberry, acreage in jthe- saHey; was, plowed out following the year when we had ,jip -market! or -01"r berries. -Probably , the tact that they1 hare ,jfeeome ; better known and areVnot ao much of a novelty has helped: the demand. iThe : canneries,.'

The producers' Cooperative Packing company paid their; loganberry pool last year at T, cents. It paid the loganberry : pool this year ,July 15 th,' at 6 cents a pound and jhe strawberry pool this year at 10 cents a pound. The other cooperative concern, the Pa cllllc . Fruit Canning & Packing company, has done well, and will jelose - its pools In December. ' : Loganberry Acreage There is probably 4500 acres in loganberries - in 'Marion county now,: and 1509 in Polk county.

There is probably no other fruit grown where the grower must pay as mueh to have his fruit harvest ed in comparison to what he gets. Co-operative companies, ?I un derstand, paid 6 cents for berries this year, and I have been told by good authority that the cannery at Cathlamet. Wash., . paid eight cents for logans this year. A great drawback to this in dustry; the lack . of proper dis tribution of help at picking time. Shortage of Pickers Hundreds of tons of berries go to waste every year in this valley for want of help at the proper time. -The Y. M. C. A. employment bureau is a great help, but often strangers passing through the country do not know of this bur eau and .after trying to get work at places they can see along the road and finding these growers all supplied with help, pass on to other towns, leaving those a little off of the main traveled roads fairly begging for help. On the whole, it is doubtful whether it would be advisable to plant a much larger acreage to logans at this time, as the present yield can probably be increased enough by careful cultivation, fer tilization and spraying to supply all demands. P. G. JUDD, Salen Ore., Rt. 4, Oct. 6, 1926. I LARGER Order to Keep Up With Con Take Care of the Gradually Crops of the Growers planted for six or seven years. There will, however, from now oh, be a small new acreage every year, and many of the old yards that have been neglected will be brought up to full production. So there will likely be an increasing tonnage from now on, from year to year. The man being quoted thinks the loganberry crop is a very good one for our farmers, on rich and well fertilized land, yielding heavy tonnages; even at 5 cents a pound. And that it would ba a splendid crop at 6 cents, which is not an improbability for the future. Any way, $e said, the logan berry Industry is on the up grade. He added that it would probably be a good thing If the price were not . Increased much for a few years; till the world wide markets are better consolidated and stabil ized. ii growers want more than a cents, he said, let them organize cooperatives on sound principles. as some of them -have done. Or let the whole industry be organ ized cooperatively for both mar keting and - canning purposes. He said the Kings plant will likely be continued as a cannery and .'drying concern, because :t Is back, or about to get . back, into the hands of its stockholders. tensions and betterments, there is twice as much floor space as there was before.

A Growing Concern The Salem Chickeries is a grow ing concern. It handled 210.000 baby chicks last year, and 260,000 this year; a 25 per cent increase. .The prospects are for a much larger business .next .year; likely over 300,000 baby chicks will be handled. Mr. Needham does not claim all the credit. The fact is, he gives the larger share to the 25 or more breeders who have stood behind him with their egg sup- r plies. They are some of the out standing breeders of this district. And all specialists in breeding. He also gives a large share of credit to Mrs. Needham, who makes more than a full hand in the busy season, and in fact all the time. Shipments of baby chicks will begin earlier the coming season than heretofore. The Salem Chickeries has already a lot of December orders. SSTfflGWII TfLOGIB "I. D. Bennett is still staying with the loganberries." writes Mrs. I. D. Bennett to the Slogan editor, in a letter dated Tuesday, Oct. 5th. "We have six acres , and they averaged three tons to the acre this year, picked; lost many by sunburn, etc.," she writes, adding that they would like to sell at a bigger price. Mrs. Bennett 'finds that by us ing the Certo and with very little cooking, . the loganberries retain their natural flavor better, and housewives can buy the Juice at any time in the year and do away with the unpleasant muss of hand ling the fresh fruit. The Way to Make It Mrs. Bennett sends her recipe for making loganberry jelly, as follows: One pint, bottle Pheasant brand loganberry Juice unsweetened (16 oz.) 5 cups sugar or 2 pounds. Four oz. pectin or Certo. Put 1 teacup water in your pan; when boiling add the sugar slowly, stirring till well eyruped and boiling hard. Then add the Juice and stir while it begins to boil; 5u?r In .the pectin and stir; do notlet it boil more than one-half minute. Remove from stove, let stand a few moments, skim and, pour into glasses, previously tem pered.

Bad weather in the Canadian northwest is held responsible for slow marketing. resulting in stiffening prices. Higher prices are probably due to lowered estimates in some sec tions and to consistent foreign de I mand. Fall sowing of wheat Is under way with somewhat less than usual demand for seed wheat. .Clover seed continues strong with hairy vetch slightly weaker and common v.etch in about the same position as heretofore. The bureau of agriculture economics reports by wire to the experiment station follows: "September imports, Italian rye grass, 55,400 pounds. Per rennial rye grass, 143,100 pounds. Hairy vetch, 156,500 pounds. Spring vetch, 2000 pounds. Euro pean quotations on rye grasses, especially perrennial, firmer or higher, but have not yet affected noticeably quotations of American seedsmen. Irish and Danish crops short but Italian rye grass large in France, offered at $4.50 to $5.00, charges, insurance and freight paid New York." This price with the duty paid amounts to $6.50 to $7.00 per hundred in this country and while slightly below previous quotations still indicates a fair prospect on Oregon rye grass seed. Potatoes hare weakened slight ly as digging operations are well under way. Indications are that there il be many No. 2's on the market and these are selling at various Oregon points at from $1 t6 $1.50 per hundred, depending on quality. No. l's are selling at $1.50 and up, depending on size and quality. f!0W AT ELSIIRE The dream of returning to.the old home town in a . big limousine, with plenty of money, haa'prob-' $15.50 .$304)0 427.35 450.00 AN IDIO FRDIV1 THE COLLEGE REHLDDf sf tcesr ably buzzed in the .brain of every young jnan in the world at some time or: other. vAnd upon J-bls. very common and youthful ambition .is imilt "Rolling rHojae,' ,the CnlverBal production starring Jtesinald penny, which Is playing at the Elsinpre theater, is -built. - Only .Reginald, believed ty -the admiring home ' tOtWmerp to be a millionaire, plays the role of a penniless young man who has .found 'that the world isn't as wil ling to give up its fortunes as he had been Jed to believe. He has promised to return home on his birthday, however, and can't bear to tell his mother and the villagers that he is a failure, so, with the help of a friend, he carries it through by bluffing. Denny, with all his recent farce successes, has never been funnier than in "Rolling Home." It is a ..story Ideally suited to his talents as a farceur, and he makes the most of every opportunity. He should add hundreds of admirers to his large army, of fans with his work in this picture. Dainty little Marion Dixon plays the feminine lead opposite the star, and provides an excellent reason for Denny's wanting to go back to the old home town. Ben Hendricks, Jr,, as Denny's friend and confident, who helps him carry on the pretense of riches, shows a remarkable versa tility, and a splendid sense of comedy, as do E. J. Ratcliffe, Mar garet Seddon, George Nicholls and other members of the cast. William A. Seiter should be commended for his great direc torial work. He has squeezed the last drop of comedy from every possible scene, and often leaves the audience gasping for breath with his laughable situations, pil ing one on top of the other with scarcely a pause. "Rolling Home" is a screen ver sion of John Hunter Booth's popular stage play, and was adapt ed to the films by, Rex Taylor ,John McDermott and the director. Portland Oregon-Pacific line will take several hundred tons of prunes to Europe. so - the nrai': i FROM THE COLLEGE Some Timely Hints or Bee Keepers, Sheep Breeders and Dairymen (Following are paragraphs from a current bulletin .of the department of industrial journal ism of .the Oregon Agricultural college:) Every opportunity -for bee col onies to build themselves up un der most favorable conditions is given by successful Oregon bee men, reports the state college ex tension service. These bee keep ers make it a point to be sure that every colony is headed by a rea sonably young queen from good stock and that it is supplied with enough brood-raising room to take care of Itself. Stimulating feed ing in this period is successfully used by some keepers. For building up a good band of ewes, retaining ewe iambs rath er than buying yearlings has many advantages and is recom mended by the college experiment station, especially for farm flocks. On the range thjs plan is pot al ways practical. Operators who have range for only a band of ewes may find .a small band of two or three hundred yearlings a nuisance. In this case raising of the yearlings can best be left to the man ' who ' can make up a stronger yearling band'. In building up a dairy trade on the high quality dairy products it Is always to be kept in mind that a constantly available supply must be maintained, the experiment station dairy department points out. This is because' satisfied consumers mean continued de mand and equally .dissatisfied cus tomers are quite certain to turn to other sources of 'supply.
